    Default 2/4 hand where i have top pair but it sucks

    i dont raise here much preflop but there was kind of an ante so i did. his range is so wide i couldnt decide on my best turn action...the pot got big pretty fast so i dont want to have to bet then fold, but not betting seems bad.

    im assuming he sucks because he posted the BB and SB in MP

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    MP ($571.30)
    Hero ($442)
    SB ($758)
    BB ($658.60)
    UTG ($377.60)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, 9. MP posts a blind of $6.
    1 fold, MP (poster) checks, Hero raises to $24, 2 folds, MP calls $20.

    Flop: ($56) 7, 3, 4 (2 players)
    MP checks, Hero bets $54, MP calls $54.

    Turn: ($164) 3 (2 players)
    MP checks, ???

    also keep in mind, the goal is to stack lukie, who folded his blind. if i play this over aggro it might help my chances vs him.

    What's wrong with bet/fold 100$? He's probably not aggro enough for a river bluff.

    I think b/f is the only way to go here against an unknown (probable donk). I think the likelyhood he will c/r as a bluff or semi-bluff is very low here.
